Soiree De Musique Classique Orientale (Mouachaats)

This album stands as a definitive cornerstone of 20th-century cultural preservation, capturing the Ensemble of Arabic Music at the height of its technical precision under Abdel Halim Nouira’s rigorous baton. By standardising the choral performance of complex Mouachaats and Dawr forms, the recording elevates traditional heritage into a polished, orchestral experience that rescued these intricate melodies from obscurity. The collaboration between Nouira’s scholarly conducting and Ahmed Shafiq Abu Aouf’s artistic vision, provides a masterclass in balance, vocal harmony, and rhythmic discipline that remains the gold standard for Classical Oriental Music enthusiasts worldwide
